The proceedings include both invited and selected contributed papers dealing with magnetic anisotropy and magnetostrictive phenomena. Investigated substances cover a broad spectrum of materials including single crystals with localized and itinerant moments, amorphous phases, magnetic films and multilayers. Various experimental techniques will be presented and discussed. Recent theoretical achievements were also presented.

All papers have been peer-reviewed. For researchers in Condensed Matter Physics, this conference provided a forum for presentation and discussion of the new concepts and developments in magnetic materials encompassing the areas like: (1) molecular magnet, (2) magnetic thin film and multilayer, (3) nanoparticle, (4) alloy and intermetallic, (5) transition metal oxides (6) frustated, spin glass and amorphous material and (7) magnetic semiconducors. New results obtained using experimental techniques like: (a) magnetization and magneto-transport and magneto-calorie, (b) scattering techniques (light and neutron), and (c) resonance techniques (EPR, NMR and Mossbauer) as well as many important theoretical developments were discussed.
